I installed the new radio and slid the VHF in next to it. The wiring job was a nightmare. I lost the old Barometer and ships clock. Replaced with a Lorus digital unit with Barometer and graph. I squeezed in a 900Ah deep cell battery to handle the refrigeration.

Replaced the manual bilge pump with a new unit.
It was easy to do and works great. I over did it with the fridge! The thing is surprisingly powerful. I set it to high and left some water bottles and beer / soda in it. The box drains into the bilge and when I found everything frozen solid and busted open the only thing to do was shut it of and thaw it out. The result was a bizarre concoction in the bilge with an interesting smell. I poured in a bucket of hot water and Mr Clean, then used the new pump to discharge it. I washed the box out and repeated until it was all gone. I installed a riser in the box with frozen stuff under and cool above. I turned the thermostat setting up to about 50% and that seems about right.

I tore out the old radio and the VHF. I built a new plate over on the S'board side by the Nav table. This little unit puts out 160 W and sounds really good. I wanted to get rid of CD's and use an I-Pod. This lets me use MP3 devices through an AUX jack and I can put music on 8 gig Thumb drives and play them through a USB jack.
BIG improvement. I'll post a picture when I have it wrapped up.
